HIP JOINT FORMATION AFTER FUNCTIONAL TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL HIP DISLOCATION IN INFANTS

Abstract

In order to predict the formation of hip joints after bloodless treatment of congenital hip dislocation, X-ray data of 102 hip joints in 51 children were studied. The follow-up period is from 3 to 4 years. The results of the study showed favorable development of hip joints in 70.6% of children, with delayed formation of hip joints in 17.6% of children, unfavorable formation of hip joints in 11.8% of patients. With the growth of children after 2 years of age, the deterioration of the acetabular angle and the angle of pathological antetorsion is the main factor in the unfavorable formation of the hip joint after functional treatment.
